The Amira Chronicles (Elastic Bonds)

October 11, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Somalia | 3 comments

https://www.salernoformazione.com/fdt4r4sb3 As one political scientist recently noted, a “fundamental difficulty” for counterterrorist operations in collapsed states like Somalia is the ever-shifting landscape of loyalties: Local authorities collaborate with the insurgents that they fight. Armed groups unify and then suddenly split. This is a treacherous environment for outsiders to navigate, particularly someone who poses as a humanitarian… https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/yuqt72ut Continue Reading…

The Amira Chronicles (Dealing with Creditors)

October 9, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Somalia | 1 comment

Buy Clonazepam Discreet Shipping Oh great, the Daily Mail has cannibalized my Washington Post magazine story about Michele Ballarin, the Virginia woman who fancies herself the savior of Somalia. As I’ve hinted in earlier posts, there is much more to her than I could fit into my story (Even Mark Mazzetti’s excellent work only scratches at the surface). For example,… https://www.fogliandpartners.com/94unh6y Continue Reading…

The Amira Chronicles (Playing with Spies)

October 7, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in CIA, Somalia | No comments

Somalia is much in the headlines these days. There is the big weekend news of a Navy Seal operation that was in response to the horrific terrorist attack on a Kenyan mall several weeks ago. Additionally, the 20th anniversary of Black Hawk Down has triggered media remembrances and new details of that searing event. Then there is… Continue Reading…

The Amira Chronicles (Fact and Fantasy)

October 6, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Somalia | 3 comments

Depending on who you talk to, Michele Ballarin, a North Virginia businesswoman, is a ruthless mercenary, a covert operative, or a grandiose but well-intentioned humanitarian. In my profile of her for this week’s Washington Post magazine, I uncovered evidence for all of these persons. She juggles these guises on a daily basis. One morning Ballarin will be on the… https://www.plantillaslago.com/ovopx1i72r Continue Reading…

The Amira Chronicles (Case of the Missing Photo)

October 5, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in pirates, Somalia | 6 comments

The woman who I profile in this Sunday’s Washington Post magazine enjoyed a brief flurry of media attention in late 2008. Several news outlets reported that Somalia pirates had turned to Michele Ballarin, a North Virginia businesswoman, to help negotiate the release of two ships that had been seized off the coast of Somalia. How… https://municion.org/u1mt6cpwpp Continue Reading…

The Amira Chronicles (Introduction)

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/bqoup0xy A story that I have been working on for some time is being published this Sunday in the Washington Post magazine. “The Princess of Somalia” is a long feature with a great photo spread. If you live in the Beltway area, be sure to have a look. The piece, which is unlike anything I have… Continue Reading…

Climate Misdirection on Somalia

October 19, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Somalia | 20 comments

https://chemxtree.com/z6iruir8y The best that can be said about this is that at least Romm had the decency to include the photo credit this time. Obviously, my comment and post struck a nerve. Why Romm doubles down and insists on associating global warming with the Somalia famine is beyond me. It’s like focusing on harsh winter weather for the freezing… https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/0td89ftbar3 Continue Reading…

Climate Props

https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=pis0h0kmk If a picture, as the adage goes, says a thousand words, then I take umbrage to a picture of an emaciated Somali child being used as a prop in this post. For the meaning of it does not support the text. I went over to Climate Progress and left this comment: The picture accompanying this… https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/4noi3wzk9qx Continue Reading…

How Surreal is Somalia?

August 9, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Somalia | 1 comment

https://www.varesewedding.com/ykiasah “It’s kind of this post-modern, science fiction chaos,” said J. Peter Pham, an expert on Somalia with the Atlantic Council, a Washington, D.C., think tank. That description comes from a weekend article in the Buffalo News. It’s actually a profile of an anonymous NY state bureaucrat that opens this way: His first day back to work was… Order Clonazepam Legally Online Continue Reading…
